I've read a number of theories but if you look at the statistics, it is largely white kids and they've been told that what they are isn't acceptable. However, transgender is celebrated and so that's what they say they are.

It couldn't be that Hollywood is constantly bombarding them with shows and movies where they are portrayed as always happy, always a functional human being when every straight character is falling apart. Nah, that couldn't be it.

There is an equal amount of X and Y in mammalian sperm and it has resulted in a human sex ratio that has been rather consistence for thousands of years. 104 males per 100 females. Any variation is more than likely due to sex selection between conception and birth - like in China.

Check out the interactive chart on gender ratio - What share of the population is male and female?
Most of the world is close to 50/50 except Russia - Russian women have made some gains as Russian men play stupid games as well Saudi women have seen some loses - as Saudi men are a-holes women are more than likely leaving the country.

There's a very intrinsic reason for the this - propagation as a species.

To counter the biological facts of sex there is the argument that gender is socially constructed. More or less the role of gender is determined by society. If this is true then why do people not align with the socially determined roles of gender? Seems this idea that gender is a social construct collapses when it comes to other genders as the vast majority in society have constructed that the role of gender is determined by the biology.

Again this runs counter even if gender is self determined. When some one says my pronouns are "X" this is an affirmation that the self determined gender may run counter to socially constructed ideas pertaining to gender.

As such gender cannot simultaneously be socially constructed and inherent to the individual. Its one or the other not both. Because of this gender identity cannot be simultaneously self-chosen and the product of socialization. This explains why "my pronouns are" is used. Self-chosen gender runs in conflict with the societal gender. You might argue well the societal definitions of gender are not correct. Possible but then gender cannot be both independent of sex and defined with reference to sex. An example - a tans male is a person born as a biological female yet identifies as a male. This is cross threading gender with sex - I thought they were separate? Have someone define their gender without referencing a biological sex.

Good or bad the truth is that the human experience is not divided into separate biological and socially constructed parts. There are no separable biological and cultural aspects of a person.
